(Although this submission is from farther back in the question queue so I’m sort of hoping OP will pop up in the comments with an “all good now, here’s what worked” update.) So let’s see if we can come up with a course of action. You can go completely hands off and wait for some miraculous “I’ve changed my mind and will now use the potty (because my friends do/diapers are for babies/I’m just here to drive you crazy)” type event, but with a school deadline looming, that can definitely be risky and anxiety inducing. It’s actually not all that unusual for kids to resist potty training until 4 years old (or even 5), and unfortunately there isn’t a one-size-fits-all tactic for these super stubborn kids. She is in all other respects a happy, healthy developmentally-on-track little girl. I thought that would be a breeze – she’ll be almost four by then! But now I’m starting to be seriously concerned. Can you suggest another tactic? She starts preschool in September and she must be trained by then. And I’m reluctant to keep trying the same approach over and over again when it keeps failing.
I keep waiting for some new sign of readiness but it hasn’t materialized. Eventually I gave up and went back to diapers. The longest we’ve kept going like this is two weeks, day after day of holding pee and poop until she physically couldn’t anymore and then just going in her clothes. Eventually she soils herself out of desperation. We have stickers, candy, a reward chart, everything! She doesn’t care. I’ve tried boot camp on several occasions and here’s what happens – she holds it for hours, hopping around grabbing her crotch but completely refusing to sit on the potty. She shows all the signs of being completely ready – stays dry for hours, knows what the potty/toilet is for, can pull down her own pants, accompanies all of us to the bathroom with interest. We have been trying on and off since she was two and a half but made no real progress. Whitney Perez’s favorite products: C4 Ultimate Blue Raspberry, COR Performance® Creatine, Alpha AminoĬ4® Ultimate is the ultimate explosive energy pre-workout.ĬOR Performance® Creatine supports increased strength.My daughter is 3 and a quarter and not yet potty trained. I walk in the gym every day and strive to be better than myself the day before strength, functional fitness, and being a well-rounded athlete are goals I set daily. What are your current fitness goals? Anything big on the horizon? As far as eating, it’s a learning curve with kids, so one day they like it and one day they don’t. They tend to get into the garage gym with me, and they lift with me. I never go a day without pre-workout especially C4® Ultimate Icy Blue Razz, Creatine, and my Alpha Amino.ĭo you have your kids live the same lifestyle? What products are your favorite and add the most value to your day? Because life isn’t easy, there’s always something that’s going to knock you over, but you get up and try again. The biggest thing I can tell someone is to not give up, to try and try again. There’s a learning process to it and you find what works for you. The biggest thing I can tell everyone is it’s not easy. It’s important for showing my kids, you just do it.ĭo you have any tips or tricks that could help other people with their fitness goals?
I know it’s important for my health and overall well-being. One thing I live by is that I may not always be motivated but I’m disciplined. It’s homework in the car, shoving dinner in our face somewhere in between, and then get home to get everybody in bed.
SUPER MOM TRAINER FULL
I work a full day, pick up the boys, and then it’s off to sports or activities for them. That’s how I get my day started, and also when I get my caffeine C4® Ultimate :). After getting them settled for school, I usually workout before work from 7-8:30 am. I normally get up around 5:15 am, get myself ready, and then wake up my 3 boys at 5:45 am. My reason for staying fit goes way beyond myself – it can be the difference between life and death for someone who needs me at the top of my game. My fitness isn’t necessarily for me, it’s for the people to my left and my right. But it was when I got into the military and my occupation as a medic that I realized how important it is to be physically fit. I’ve always been an athlete, into sports and fitness. We sat down with Super-Mom and Cellucor® athlete Whitney Perez, a combat medic in the National Guard, to discuss fitness, balancing mom life, and grab some of her top tips that we can all benefit from on our fitness journey. Moms inspire, uplift and motivate us.but often, that’s just the beginning.
